Catalyst Supervisor Engine 32 PISA IOS Software Configuration Guide, 12.2ZY

The TestSPRPIinbandPing test detects most runtime software driver and hardware problems on supervisor engines by running diagnostic packet tests using the Layer 2 forwarding engine, the Layer 3 and 4 forwarding engine, and the replication engine on the path from the switch processor to the route processor. Packets are sent at 15-second intervals. Ten consecutive failures of the test results in failover to the redundant supervisor engine (default) or reload of the supervisor engine if a redundant supervisor engine is not installed.

TestSPNPInbandPing

The TestSPNPIinbandPing test verifies the data path between the switch processor (SP) and the network processor (NP). This test sends a Layer 2 frame from the SP inband port and to the NP and the NP loops it back to the SP inband port. This test runs every 15 seconds. 10 consecutive test failures cause the NP to reset. After three consecutive NP resets, 10 consecutive test failures results in a supervisor engine switchover, or in a reload if a redundant supervisor engine is not installed.
